This is the absolute brightest solar-powered, motion-activated outdoor security floodlights on the market. The 80 LEDs never burn out or need changing. This unit puts out the light equivalent of a 40 watt halogen bulb without using one bit of electricity, drawing the free power of the sun. This means low energy costs and low environmental impact with an amazing amount of light. Installation is so simple, no electrician needed.

- Uses free energy from the sun
- Easy DIY Installation and no electrician needed
- Light automatically turns on when motion is detected
- Great for sheds, steps, porches and anywhere you need additional light
A solar security light worth buying, but buy it from someone else. The 80 LEDs are very bright, and I’ve never had a problem with the battery running out of charge. As long as you keep in mind that it’s not a pair of 150w incandescent floodlights, and don’t mind the cold LED lighting, then you should be pleased. And the price is less than what an electrician would charge to look you in the face.I bought 1 unit and received it from Home Controls surprisingly quickly. It’s when I ordered 3 more that I ran into trouble. One of them was defective, and Home Controls doesn’t pay for return shipping. In other words, if they send you a broken product, it’s going to cost you to get a refund or exchange. And the batteries on these things are heavy. So 5 stars for the light, but Home Controls gets the gas face for their customer-be-damned return policy. I won’t be shopping with them again.
Finally, a bright solar-powered light! I’ve bought a few other solar-powered motion sensor lights in the past, and they usually vary from dim to very dim. But this 80 (count ’em) LED unit is actually pretty bright! It’s something of a breakthrough in solar-powered lighting in that regard.It’s not blindingly bright, but it gives off a decent light, about what you’d expect from a medium-sized outdoor lighting unit, much brighter than a flashlight. I held it up to a few other lights for comparison, and I would say it’s roughly similar to a 75-watt incandescent bulb in brightness, or maybe a 40-watt halogen floodlight. Being an LED light, the light given off is a bit blue-ish.I’ve only had it a few weeks, but it works fine so far. (It fell off a 4-foot railing onto my deck at one point, but still worked afterward.) I charged it up for 5 days at first to be safe. It hasn’t run out of battery power yet… although I typically only trigger it maybe 10 to 20 times per night, and I have it set to stay on for only about 30 seconds. You can adjust the time it stays on from about 20 seconds to 2 minutes.All in all, a very good product.
